10 WWE Wrestlers Who Were As Frustrated As The Fans

Going beyond calling himself "Best Kept Secret Again", Buddy Murphy's finding his first name and started dropping bomb-sized hints about his dissatisfaction with virtually every other Twitter post of late.

A picture of him celebrating a win in NXT with current main roster persona non grata Aleister Black was the latest indicator that he's p*ssed off with management and can't think of another way to express his anger, following this broadside toasting his time on 205 Live just days earlier.

Elsewhere, it's more digs about his current peripheral existence on SmackDown, or just evidence of dejected malaise with a system that doesn't seem particularly set up to make the most of his obvious and evident abilities.

If, by this point, you the reader have noticed any repetition in the writing of these entries, consider why that might be. Murphy is sadly not the story but just one chapter in a massive tale that's been told again and again since before CM Punk sat cross-legged on the stage nearly a decade ago.

Twitter's a place for that anger to go, but it's no more or less impotent than the killer talk show promos featured. And how sad, for the miserable independent contractor du jour, is that?
